MacDonald Gill: from memorials to maps

MacDonald ‘Max’ Gill, younger brother of the sculptor Eric Gill, was a letterer and graphic artist famed for his pictorial map posters for the London Underground. His painted map panels still decorate landmark buildings such as the Palace of Westminster and Lindisfarne Castle while all British military headstones are still carved with his iconic alphabet and badges. In this lecture Max’s great niece Caroline Walker reveals the colourful story of his life, his lettering and his love of map-making.
